Mujhe 7 months pregnancy hai, mujhe fungal infection hai or doctor ne tab fluconazole, Tab terbinafine, tab itraconazole oral prescribe kiya hai, kya ye safe h. Please bataye.

Question

There is positive evidence of human fetal risk with fluconazole but the benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk, for example in life-threatening situations. Terbinafine tablet is probably safe to use during pregnancy. Animal studies have shown low or no adverse effect on the fetus, however, there are limited human studies. Itraconazole capsule may be unsafe to use during pregnancy. Animal studies have shown adverse effects on the fetus, however, there are limited human studies. The benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk. You can start homoeopathic medicine for the fungal infection instead of this dialemma.

No. Specific medicine required. Fungal infection or ring worm. When occurs in groin, called as jock itch. Usually fungal infection is common in moist areas of body like skin folds. It's mostly circular or round in appearance. May be red or black in colour. Treatment depending on the type and severity. Avoid sharing clothes, towels and soap; sweating also increases it. As it has to be differentiated from eczema and infection, its a must to see and confirm the diagnosis for proper treatment. So, please send photos of the affected area by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
